The butterfly looks great, not a species I get to see in my area.

Nice work, good detail, think the rotation was right to do.

Hi

I think your decision to rotate probably makes for a more dynamic looking composition - not quite sure the shadows look natural, or perhaps that just me knowing its been rotated lol

Either way a fine image that I have enjoyed

All the best
Matthew
